Blogging is a useful way to network with other people in your industry. If you create a career-related blog, you can exchange tips and ideas with colleagues, and stay up-to-date with the latest trends in your business. The most visited blogs are those that feature posts on a regular basis, whether daily or weekly. Coming up with frequent blog post ideas may be difficult, but it can help if you regularly write on a set number of themes.

Industry News

No business is entirely static. No matter what industry you're in, it will experience changes and innovations. Keep up-to-date with the latest news in your business and make a habit of reporting these tidbits of information. Become a trusted source of information on innovative news in your business and you may turn into the go-to person when it comes to questions about future growth and direction.

Solve Problems

Every business has problems common to other, similar businesses. Restaurants deal with cooks, servers and customers. Freelancers interact with clients and face deadlines. No matter what business you're in, feature one common problem on a regular basis and offer innovative solutions. Open the discussion to readers to increase the possibility of finding answers to problems through brainstorming.

Educate the Public

There's an old saying about no one truly knowing you until they walk a mile in your shoes. This is especially true when it comes to careers. The public may think it knows what it's like to be a restaurant manager, a freelance editor or an insurance adjuster, but dozens of details exist about your business that they're unaware of. Improve customer awareness and increase your client base by posting about the inside secrets of your business.

Mentor Beginners

Every business has an attrition rate, and new people start careers in your industry every day. Make a habit of posting mentoring tips on a regular basis. Think back to all the little details you needed to learn when you were beginning your career. The details may seem obvious to you now, but they aren't second nature to anyone. Become a source that novices can turn to for information.
